Excellent thread, Sir. You're a great teacher. You write these threads that are chock-full of info but that even I can understand. I wish I had teachers in history classes that taught like you. They just didn't grab my attention, ever. So, thank you.

@2020_DJT@ThomasWic I was lucky enough to have a phenomenally great history teacher who brought awesome people in history alive. I still love the “people” who changed the world. Not much on battles & dates but fascinated by the people who rose to the occasion & changed the world. I think my great grands will be learning about Trump!!!

@ThomasWic another Wictor thread that is right on. I'm glad to see that you thought that of the Australians visit. The WH worked so hard in making it known that they went all out, I came to same conclusion. U.K. Ukraine Austrlia.... seems like the Int. parties that helped with Russiagate are all coming to Trumps side.

@ThomasWicGreat thread!👍 In keeping his plan secret and showing only the tip of the iceberg, it really tests those who say they are on Trump's side as well. If they get impatient and lose it over the supposed inaction from Trump they really are not Trump supporters.

@ThomasWic True and everything you wrote makes sense. But I have to say, I was watching the 2018 video of Trump & MbS earlier and couldn't help but smile at this. Thinking that when MbS spoke - in English - it was as if the Prince almost let the cat out of the bag. Alluding to these 2 planning to fix the world. At least that's what my brain heard. 😄

@ThomasWic@Baline MBS (Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud) sounds wonderful! He has a deep voice like his father, the king. I saw a video of Prince Faisal bin Mishal bin Saud bin Abdulaziz al Saud (Yes, that’s his full name) speaking in English and he has that same deep voice so it runs through the entire male al Saud family. He’s the grandson of King Saud.

@SpiceOfOurLife MbS is adorable, that's why I was watching that video again, it gives me a feeling of calm joy. There are some people who radiate goodness. I felt the same whenever I watched Pope John Paul II, I just wanted to hug him like a teddybear. 🤗 @ThomasWic

@Baline@ThomasWic MBS does look like a teddy bear, doesn’t he? He’d be cool to have as a younger brother or son. Prince Faisal bin Mishal is the same way. Both are gentle and cuddly and are well loved by the public.

This clip shows how very comfortable and collegial are Trump and MBS. When Trump holds up his posters of the deal while focusing on talking into cameras, MBS patiently and willingly goes with a human moment of having the posters sit almost in his lap the way POTUS holds them. He is giving space and respect for his colleague POTUS to take that moment to speak to the the American people. Grace and integrity.

At time 3:30 is a dynamic, wonderful moment. Trump is talking to Americans about how ISIS has been pretty much routed in Syria with "a lot of territory regained, almost 100%". This clip is March 2018. POTUS says this, then ends it with this, as he turns to MBS: "as you have probably heard... before anybody". MBS sniffs with knowing smile. As Wictor's threads have indicated, there is a high likelihood SA and UAE were the ones who likely accomplished that.

That was a moment caught on national television where POTUS and MBS enjoyed a private little moment of acknowledging the success and brilliance of MBS and GCC's successful strategy. Trump could not resist the hat tip to KSA for the progress that neither of them can talk about yet.

4)At a point earlier in the clip... around 2:40-2:50... POTUS mentions that relations between US and KSA were not good with the prior admin, was "strained". MBS looks down and smiles, in a way that to me, cross-culturally even, would be the way someone's face arranges during an unfortunate truth being stated, IMHO. Trump says relations are now the best they have ever been. MBS gives one solid discreet head bob of a nod.

@barrsniffsatjejuneanalysis@ThomasWic It's so wild to watch after all that has happened in the past year and a half coupled with Thomas'a threads explaining so much about Trump, MbS, & the GCC. Sort of like watching a great mystery movie that ties all the clues together at the end and has you jumping up to applaud. 😀

Yep, good description. There are high level people and related consultants... and their thinking will never make mainstream. Why would the good ones and their strategies go on MSM? Not.

What is being portrayed and discussed on media by ME talking heads is from people who cannot think beyond the thoughts and approaches that did not work. The "fruits of their labor" led to debacles in Afganistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. They did not work. So why are they experts now?

@ThomasWic Can you explain why Iran would want anyone recording substandard military tech? I like that the USA and KSA both parade publicly known tech, but there's a bunch of military secrets that are both in use and in the works. We get mere glimpses of it occasionally but they cover tracks. Is it possible this is Iranian disinformation or are they this arrogant?

@ThomasWicGabbards’s Winter Soldier schtick is getting old. ,has been old. It was old with Jawn Kerry 49 years ago and it hasn’t improved with age. Gabbard ,likeKerry , rides her 214 like a draught horse

@ThomasWic My 7th grade English teacher Mrs. Deffenbaugh, when discussing Madam Defarge in Dickens, "A Tale of Two Cities", commented that women are kinder than men. But when women lose their virtue or kindness, they are much more cruel than men.
